Predicting prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by the histopathological features.

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly heterogeneous liver tumor. The associations between histopathological feature and prognosis of ICC are limited. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of glandular structure and tumor budding in ICC.

Anatomical nonanatomical liver resection for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The long-term survival of patients with solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following anatomical resection (AR) non-anatomical resection (NAR) is still controversial. It is necessary to investigate which approach is better for patients with solitary HCC.

Aim: To compare perioperative and long-term survival outcomes of AR and NAR for solitary HCC.

Mid-Upper Arm Circumference as an Alternative Screening Instrument to Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index for Diagnosing Sarcopenia.

Purpose: Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is a simple, noninvasive anthropometric indicator. This study evaluated the applicability of MUAC as an alternative screening instrument to appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) for detecting sarcopenia, and determined the optimal MUAC cutoff values.

Patients And Methods: A total of 4509 subjects ≥50 years of age from the West China Health and Aging Trend study were included in the present study.
